I don't get it.

Maybe it's fear? If one of the solutions gets really popular some might feel it would hurt their choice if it's not the popular one. This is not the case though. I'm glad that today's world of Next Gen Amiga is very different then the Commodore days. When Commodore died we were screwed. Only Commodore made Amiga’s so their death put a time bomb in the Amiga market. Now diversification gives us freedom of choice and encourages healthy competition. This will drive innovation and help everyone in the long run. The Next Gen's will probably never be the most used operating systems in the world unless Quantum Computers are perfected on Amiga OS 4.x, AROS or MorphOS but a nice market of 10,00 or even 100,000 users can be achieved.

I could agree with Part of this, I don,t think fear is a likely cause though.

This, I can appreciate. When I said "it's going to be expensive", it wasn't a defence of the price, just a statement of fact. I doubt that many people can justify 1500+ UKP for a hobby machine.

Remember, its not a hobby machine. They call it a developer machine. I guess they hope someone forks out the money and developes some terrific software to drive sales.

It reminds me of an argument I had when I was about 7 with another kid, about which was superior, the A500 or the C64, he was adamant that he was right, yet I argued with him so much until, I think a teacher took me aside, and kind of said "what's the point in this?  do you really think you're going to change his opinion?".  For people to so regularly troll on threads with comments like "it's not a real Amiga, they can't have that name" (are they expecting the second coming with clouds parting and an idealisation of Commodore speak unto them?), or "it'll be a load of crap anyway", etc., makes me think that they haven't learnt a simple lesson or two that I learnt with I was SEVEN YEARS OLD.

64 was Better! :griping:
